Hardware Write Blocking
Enables forensic acquisition of USB storage devices by blocking all write commands to preserve data integrity.
Read Stabilization
Helps prevent USB storage devices from being dropped by Windows due to bad sectors or other read instability issues.
Bus Powered
Has a small form factor and works bus powered with most storage devices.
Short Circuit Protection
Provides short circuit protection for the source drive and allows manually turning power on/off.
SSD Acquisition Acceleration
Accelerates acquisition speed of SSDs and other fast flash storage devices by an average of 30%, compared to a direct, writeblocker-free connection to USB3.0.
Hardware Reset / Repower
Enforces read timeout by hardware reset and/or repower, dramatically speeding up bad sector processing, which allows imaging highly degraded HDDs/SSDs.
Real-Time Keyword Search
Allows searching for specific keywords within the data going through the device in real time, and in most cases without reducing imaging speed.
Advanced Diagnostics
ATA password & WD Smartware unlocking, access to HPA/DCO/AMAC data areas, graphical speed display, USB-SCSI error reporting, complete sector-level status information, and much more.
